iova | 12b did you end up getting anywhere with the rv2 | 05:29:14 |
iova | think im gonna give it a go at nix-ifying it tomorrow if i have time | 05:29:42 |
12b | No, I was too busy with other things to focus on that. | 06:01:22 |
Michael | 12b: just pushed https://github.com/sehraf/x1-riscv-arch-image-builder Currently get's into kernel but (probably?) hangs without working console | 10:10:24 |

cbobrobison | Is anyone here interested in Nix x RISC-V TEEs? Like Keystone, SPEAR-V, or Penglai?

Michal | How is NixOS with the VisionFive2 currently? Just had it arrive earlier today and was thinking of NixOS-ing it :) | 19:07:00 |
Tristan Ross | It's okay | 19:11:53 |
Tristan Ross | RISC-V right now isn't as stable | 19:12:03 |
Tristan Ross | Even the new P550 has issues so don't expect there to not be any problems | 19:12:28 |
Tristan Ross | It boots at least | 19:12:33 |
Michal | Right, of course, I meant in terms of RISC-V :) stable in my eyes means I can get it to boot, and maybe boot a second time haha | 19:12:38 |
Tristan Ross | Yeah, NVME boot doesn't work when I've tried | 19:13:04 |
Tristan Ross | I've got an odd problem where the DMA for the NIC driver fails to initialize so I get random network disconnects when the RX starts receiving too much. | 19:13:52 |
Michal | Hm interesting thing to look out for then, I'm going to be using SD boot regardless so hopefully I don't have too many issues | 19:15:55 |
Tristan Ross | SD boot is okay but not as performant | 19:17:06 |
Tristan Ross | Even with the JH7110's lack of performance, it probably doesn't help lol | 19:17:30 |
Michal | Yeah, wouldn't expect it to be crazy, can it boot from an EMMC module fine-ish? I do recall seeing space for one when putting the case on it | 19:18:19 |
Tristan Ross | 🤷♂️ | 19:18:32 |
Tristan Ross | Idk | 19:18:38 |
Michal | Well I suppose there'll be some fun edge cases for me to test once I get my hands on one of those | 19:18:53 |
Tristan Ross | Yeah, the RISC-V world is interesting lol | 19:19:16 |
Michal | Yeah haha, feels a lot more like booting up a game you've never played with the whole feeling of "well, let's see what works!" rather than the usual tried-and-tested stuff with x86 and even ARM nowadays | 19:21:34 |
Tristan Ross | So RISC-V is supposed to be easier than ARM with the standards but things need to bake more lol. | 19:27:02 |
Michal | Yeah, it definitely still feels like early days of the architecture, but then again, about a decade or so ago ARM was kinda in the same space | 19:27:43 |
